Legendary Bertha Tie-Dye Grateful Dead Tee – Size 2XL
Here it is, folks—the Bertha that every true Deadhead dreams of finding folded in perfect condition at the bottom of a bin on Shakedown Street. This isn’t just a shirt—it’s a piece of Grateful Dead history, and it’s as close to mint as you’re ever gonna get outside of a time machine.
This iconic tie-dye Bertha tee is tagged 2XL, and it’s in meticulous condition—no stains, no holes, no blemishes whatsoever. The tag is crumpled but completely legible, which tells us it’s probably been washed once, but never worn out into the world. This one’s been preserved, not just owned.
The graphic? Flawless. Crisp, clean, and absolutely vibrant, with Bertha looking like she just danced out of the shadows of the Fillmore with roses in her hair and a grin that says, “See you on the other side.” The colors explode against the classic swirl of tie-dye—psychedelic, bold, and beautifully balanced, just the way we like it.
This is more than merch—it’s art, energy, and memory all wrapped in cotton. Whether you’re wearing it to your next show or framing it like the masterpiece it is, this shirt is a perfect example of what makes Dead tees so deeply collectible and so loved by those who know.
A true classic, a rare find in this condition, and a love letter to the long, strange trip we’re all on. Bertha forever.
